Summary of "Early thrombosis prophylaxis with enoxaparin is not associated with hematoma expansion in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage."

Early pharmacological deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis is recommended by guidelines, but rarely started within 48 hours. We aimed to analyze the effect of early (within 48h) versus late (>48h) DVT prophylaxis on hematoma expansion (HE) and outcome in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Research regarding the intimate relationship between inflammation and coagulation in fracture hematoma has attracted increasing attention recently. However, the interaction of the two in the early fra...

Heparin, a highly sulfated glycosaminoglycan, has been used as a clinical anticoagulant over 80 years. However, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (HITT) is a serious side effect of hepar...

Patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are at high risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) postoperatively, necessitating the use of prophylaxis medications. Thi...

This study compares the efficacy and complication rates of early (24 hours) versus late (72
hours) VTE prophylaxis administration to TBI patients. Patients in both treatment groups

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions

Warfarin

An anticoagulant that acts by inhibiting the synthesis of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors. Warfarin is indicated for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of venous thrombosis and its extension, pulmonary embolism, and atrial fibrillation with embolization. It is also used as an adjunct in the prophylaxis of systemic embolism after myocardial infarction. Warfarin is also used as a rodenticide.

Hematoma, Epidural, Spinal

A rare epidural hematoma in the spinal epidural space, usually due to a vascular malformation (CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM VASCULAR MALFORMATIONS) or TRAUMA. Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma is a neurologic emergency due to a rapidly evolving compressive MYELOPATHY.

Hematoma, Subdural

Accumulation of blood in the SUBDURAL SPACE between the DURA MATER and the arachnoidal layer of the MENINGES. This condition primarily occurs over the surface of a CEREBRAL HEMISPHERE, but may develop in the spinal canal (HEMATOMA, SUBDURAL, SPINAL). Subdural hematoma can be classified as the acute or the chronic form, with immediate or delayed symptom onset, respectively. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness, severe HEADACHE, and deteriorating mental status.

Hematoma

A collection of blood outside the BLOOD VESSELS. Hematoma can be localized in an organ, space, or tissue.

Intracranial Embolism And Thrombosis

Embolism or thrombosis involving blood vessels which supply intracranial structures. Emboli may originate from extracranial or intracranial sources. Thrombosis may occur in arterial or venous structures.
